Melania (2026) 7% 1/5 EDIT “The whole vibe is eerily off from start to finish, leaving you feeling as if you’ve spent 105 minutes alone on a merry-go-round in an abandoned amusement park.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Saipan (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The fury, frustration and folly of it all – and the seismic effect it has on the whole of Ireland afterwards – remains astonishing to this day. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Is This Thing On? (2025) 86% 3.5/5 EDIT “As directed by actor Bradley Cooper, Is Thing On? benefits big-time from training its focus on how its two lead characters will move forward from their fateful decision.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Feb 5, 2026 Full Review Blue Moon (2025) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Hawke’s selflessly broken portrayal of the self-sabotaging Hart makes for quite a powerful (and occasionally jarring) contrast with all the stylish nostalgia on display. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Mercy (2026) 24% 2.5/5 EDIT “Visually, the multi-device overload of it all can be dazzling at times, but when it comes to making sense of how poor old Raven came to be strapped to a chair and arguing with a hologram, Mercy gets harder to follow by the minute. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Send Help (2026) 93% 3.5/5 EDIT “Both McAdams (kooky, yet deceptively cunning) and O’Brien (cocky, yet comically unperceptive) are fantastic here, hitting just the right notes of derision and danger demanded by a cleverly constructed screenplay.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 29, 2026 Full Review Nouvelle Vague (2025) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “The fashion is on point, the attitude is off the charts, the black-and-white imagery is stunning, and the birth of the fabled ‘French New Wave’ (and its lasting influence) is there for all to see.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% 5/5 EDIT “The work of Jessie Buckley in Hamnet features some of the most intricate, expressive and utterly convincing acting of the modern era. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Jan 15, 2026 Full Review The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants (2025) 80% EDIT “Straightforwardly silly cartooning that puts a smiles on the dial without testing the patience.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Song Sung Blue (2025) 78% EDIT “Hugh pouring on the charm and putting on a show, with many a Neil Diamond earworm to lift the spirits. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Sentimental Value (2025) 97% 4/5 EDIT “It is a movie that earns your trust carefully, and makes good on the deal in so many wonderful ways. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “This amiable comedy-drama should prove to make a great fit for [Fraser's] talents. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Marching Band (2024) 96% EDIT “A huge hit in its native France, this uplifting, moving and subtly funny affair has been making friends right around the world. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The Housemaid (2025) 74% EDIT “Sweeney is well-cast as the au pair with a criminal record who lands a job with Seyfried’s dangerously unhinged woman of wealth.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review Anaconda (2025) 48% EDIT “While there will be several sightings of those sinister slithers, the emphasis here is more on Jumanji-style family comedy than blood-drenched biting and fighting.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 30, 2025 Full Review The History of Sound (2025) 69% EDIT “While the movie does lose some vital narrative momentum in its final act, a delicately convincing emotional balance held by Mescal and O’Connor throughout is rewarding through to the bitter(sweet) end.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) 66% 3.5/5 EDIT “Like the Avatars that came before it, Fire and Ash conjures true movie magic when it comes to complete and total immersion in another world.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 17, 2025 Full Review Eternity (2025) 77% 2.5/5 EDIT “This is a fresh and lively concept for a rom-com, and the movie confidently sets it all up in fine style.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Five Nights at Freddy's 2 (2025) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “The sequel struggles to raise pulses or pique curiosity throughout.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Ella McCay (2025) 23% 2/5 EDIT “There is a lot – no, make that way too much – going on in Ella McCay for it to stand a chance of making any coherent sense for too long.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 11, 2025 Full Review Twiggy (2024) 100% 3.5/5 EDIT “A fun, but in no way frivolous experience directed in lively fashion by Sadie Frost (Quant).” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Anchoring proceedings with impressive gravity is a brilliant performance by Russell Crowe as Hitler’s chillingly charismatic second-in-command, the notorious Hermann Goring.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (2025) 92% 4/5 EDIT “As always with a Knives Out affair, the expert construction of Wake Up Dead Man’s baffling murder teases performances of great wit, treachery and skill from a top-notch cast. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 4, 2025 Full Review Train Dreams (2025) 95% 4/5 EDIT “The achingly slow pacing and deeply contemplative tone of this movie – reminiscent in many ways of the work of director Terrence Malick (Badlands, Tree of Life) – will not accommodate all tastes or attention spans. ” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 1, 2025 Full Review Dead of Winter (2025) 75% 3.5/5 EDIT “Thompson’s gritty effort goes far beyond what anyone might have assumed this decorated performer is capable of, and is reason enough for all viewers to stick around for one heck of a final act.” – Daily Telegraph (Australia) Dec 1, 2025 Full
